Actually, that doesn't work, I must have not compiled before testing.

I came up with this modified version of partial_line_height, which does
actually work.  Having to do RESTORE_IT (&it, &it, it_data) is a bit
unintuitive though.  I don't understand what the typical use case of
this macro is, if it's going to copy back the new state into the
original `it', then why use a separate `it' in the first place?

By the way, while testing I noticed that `set-window-text-height'
doesn't take `line-spacing' into account, should it?


int
partial_line_height (struct it *it_origin)
{
  int partial_height;
  void *it_data = NULL;
  struct it it;
  SAVE_IT (it, *it_origin, it_data);
  move_it_to (&it, ZV, -1, it.last_visible_y, -1,
              MOVE_TO_POS | MOVE_TO_Y);
  if (it.what == IT_EOB)
    {
      int vis_height = it.last_visible_y - it.current_y;
      int height = it.ascent + it.descent;
      partial_height = (vis_height < height) ? vis_height : 0;
    }
  else
    {
      int last_line_y = it.current_y;
      move_it_by_lines (&it, 1);
      partial_height = (it.current_y > it.last_visible_y)
        ? it.last_visible_y - last_line_y : 0;
    }
  RESTORE_IT (&it, &it, it_data);
  return partial_height;
}
